CAUTION
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has
been left for a long time in a location subject to direct
sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the
pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not
light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). In such a case,
fi rst let the battery cool, then start charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second intervals),
check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger's
battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is
probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning.
Take it to your authorized Service Center.
○ Since the built-in micro computer takes about 3 seconds to
confi rm that the battery being charged with charger is taken
out, wait for a minimum of 3 seconds before reinserting it
to continue charging. If the battery is reinserted within 3
seconds, the battery may not be properly charged.
○ If the pilot lamp does not blink in red (every
second)
even
though
connected to the power, it indicates that the
protection circuit of the charger may be activated.
Remove the cord or plug from the power and then
connect it again after 30 seconds or so. If this does
not cause the pilot lamp to blink in red (every second),
please take the charger to the HiKOKI Authorized
Service Center.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade effi ciency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace
the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 12)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brush with new ones when it becomes worn to or near
the "wear limit" ⓐ. In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely whithin
the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be
sure to use the HiKOKI Carbon Brush Code No. 999054.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Take out the carbon brush by fi rst removing the brush
cap and then hooking the protrusion of the carbon brush
with a fl at head screw driver, etc.
When installing the carbon brush, choose the direction
so that the nail ⓑ of the carbon brush agrees with the
contact portion ⓒ outside the brush tube. Then push it in
with a fi nger. Lastly, install the brush cap.
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon brush
into the contact portion outside the brush tube. (You can
insert whichever one of the two nails provided).
Caution must be exercised since any error in this
operation can result in the deformed nail of the carbon
brush and may cause motor trouble at an early stage.
6. Cleaning on the outside
When the angle drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
7. Storage
Store the angle drill in a place in which the temperature is
less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored
for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with
smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when
used, if stored for a long period.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage of batteries with a low charge
may result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly
reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries
incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
Important notice on the batteries for the HiKOKI
cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used with
batteries other than these designated by us, or when
the battery is disassembled and modifi ed (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
